How much should I eat at 4 months pregnant?

Pregnant women should eat lots of nuts, seeds, whole grains, beans, fruits and vegetables, restrict added vegetable oils and and avoid all packaged foods that contain partially hydrogenated fats.

Both mother and child need essential fatty acids that are classified into omega-3s and omega-6s. Pregnancy uses up fatty acids, particularly omega-3s such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Several recent studies show that post-partum depression is caused by low levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Essential fatty acids are found in all nuts, seeds, beans and whole grains, but not in refined flour used for most bakery products and pastas.

Pregnancy depletes folic acid, and a deficiency can cause birth defects. Folic acid is found in leafy greens, nuts, seeds and beans. Extracted oils from seeds such as corn, soybeans, cottonseed, rapeseed (canola) and safflower are often converted to partially hydrogenated fats and added to foods. These fats deplete the body of omega-3 fatty acids and therefore should be avoided by pregnant women.

Getting pregnant was’nt a smart move,but anyway whats done is done,u c what you want to do is eat healthy foods,eat until you are satisfied cause now you are not eating just for your self,but for a new life and I am sure you don’t want to mess that up…bye and good luck

your 14 and preggy.. god bless your little heart, you know you were a lil fast for your age, but its already happened, anyhow. all I can suggest is to stay away from alota junk, STAY IN SKOOL IS THE KEY[ irrelevant to food] haha, && PLEASE PLEASE. dont drink or smoke.. for the sake of your child. :] good luck.. && please.. go to church.

Just a thought, I don’t believe she asked if getting pregnant at fourteen was smart or not, she asked what she should eat.

And sweetie, just be sure to eat healthy, and don’t stuff yourself. Just eat until you are full. “Eating for two” is a load of crap. Yes, you want to eat healthy for your baby, but you don’t literally have to eat the amount of food two people would eat.

Good luck! :]

You shouldn’t have put your age b/c it don’t matter…brush those hataz off. but eat just don’t stuff yourself b/c you think the baby needs more. that baby is going to eat as long as you do. Good Luck Mommy

You don’t need to ‘eat for two’ that’s for sure. Make sure you have a nutritious balanced diet & stay clear of smoking & alcohol.

dont eat nuts!!

yur baby cud get this thing were it dont grow properli

xx and gurrd luck huniieee

Eat until you’re full.

Getting pregnat wasn’t a smart ting to do but, hey its your life. Dont stuff your self full of crap. Your going to eat more but try to lean a bit to the healthy side. It helps a lot.

Um… I’m confused- only 19 days ago you were asking if you were pregnant, and now you definately are, and at 4 months. Stop me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t you have figured it out by 4 months?

sorry but please read to understand and not just critise others opinions or advise,thank you.
